Is This is the Way to Amarillo
A spoof video of the song (Is This The Way To) Amarillo, performed by British soldiers in Iraq, has crashed Ministry of Defence computers. Troops in the Royal Dragoon Guards shot a home video at their Al Faw base of their version of the video sung by Tony Christie and mimed by Peter Kay.
They e-mailed it to Army friends in London, but so many tried to download it that the MoD server could not cope.
The MoD said the spoof was "brilliant" and the crash did not cause problems.
A spokesman said: "The soldiers maintaining their morale on operations is always important.
"The fact that it proved so popular in the office and caused the system to crash is unfortunate, but this did not affect operations and the system is up and running again."
